    Whether you’re watching TV, attending a footy game, or eating a meal at your local pub, gambling is hard to escape. Although the rise of gambling is not unique to Australia, it has become normalised as a part of Australian culture. While for some, gambling might be a source of entertainment, for others, it can lead to significant harms.

    Gambling and mental illness

    • In many cases, harms associated with gambling lead to poor mental health.
    • But people experiencing mental illness are also at greater risk of experiencing gambling problems.
    • A person might not have a diagnosable gambling disorder, however they still may face problems in their life as a result of gambling.

    Gambling and suicide

    • Research from different countries has shown that among people receiving treatment for problem gambling, between 22% and 81% have thought about suicide, and 7% to 30% have made an attempt.
    • Some 44% of Australian veterans experiencing gambling problems have thought about suicide, while almost 20% have made a suicide plan or attempt.
    • Gambling-related suicides were more likely to affect males (83%) compared to total suicide deaths in Victoria over the same period (75%).
    • This is because, unlike for drugs and alcohol, at present there’s no systematic way gambling is captured as a contributing factor in suicide deaths.

    Gambling is inherently risky

    • Evidence shows pokies alone are responsible for more than half of all gambling problems in Australia.
    • Casino table games are equally risky, but in the general population they contribute much less to problem gambling because fewer people play them.

    What can we do?

    • She suggested health professionals could make it part of their routine practice to ask simple questions like “in the past 12 months, have you ever felt that you had a problem with gambling?”.
    • Or, “has anyone commented that you might have a problem with gambling?”.
    • In June 2023, a cross-party committee presented a report with 31 recommendations to reduce harms from online gambling in Australia.

    Advice for people who gamble

    • For people who do choose to gamble, it’s important to be aware of the risks.
    • If you choose to gamble, set limits on the amount of money you’re willing to loose, or the amount of time you will spend gambling.


    gamble no more than 2% of your take-home pay
    gamble no more than once a week
    take part in no more than two different types of gambling.
    If you notice you’re thinking about gambling more and more, or that it’s causing problems in any part of your life, seeking help early is key. Speak to your GP about how you can get some extra support, or visit Gambling Help Online.
